Arithmetic Expressions

Arithmetic expressions can be formed with the operators +, -, *, /, MOD, and DIV. The four last operators are stronger binding than the first two. Any processing sequence can be enforced by parentheses.

An arithmetic expression usually provides a numeric value. It results in the NULL value, however, if

- one of its operands results in the NULL value.

- division by 0 is attempted.

- the valid range of values is exceeded.

- a literal or a variable value cannot be interpreted as a number.
